Featuring the unprecedented addition of a new player-controlled female protagonist who offers players a fresh new perspective for one of gaming's most inventive narratives, P3P adds dozens of additional hours of playability on top of a game that already easily exceeded 100 hours of total play time.  Numerous additional improvements and enhancements serve to streamline the experience for optimal handheld RPG enjoyment.

Terrible creatures lurk in the dark, preying on those who wander into the hidden hour between one day and the next.  As a member of a secret school club, you must wield your inner power--Persona--and protect humanity from impending doom.  Will you live to see the light of day?

The hat, modeled after the one worn by fan-favorite SEES member Junpei Iori, offers a rare collectible to celebrate while also serving as a rather convenient costume component for cosplay-minded gamers. This pre-order bonus promotion is exclusive to Amazon.com, Amazon.ca, and GameStop/EB Games (in stores and online in the United States and Canada), and only while supplies last.

"Hardcore roleplaying game fans are always telling us how memorable the cast of characters in Persona 3 is for them," commented Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales, as he adjusted his Junpei baseball cap whilst gazing into a mirror. "We could think of no more exciting a pre-order bonus than something straight out of the game, an extra that evokes a beloved character and has the power to make gamers feel like they're part of the SEES squad of students responsible for saving the world from darkness."

Key Features

• Maximum Persona 3--The RPG that captured critics and fans alike achieves a new level of excellence.  Built upon an enhanced version of the game, players will find numerous significant improvements, including the addition of Skill Cards, part-time jobs, a total of five difficulty settings (ranging from the newcomer-friendly "beginner" to the ultra-hardcore "maniac"), and most importantly, the ability to directly control your teammates in battle.
• Gain a whole new perspective--The choice of your protagonist's sex at the start of the game has a dramatic impact on the game's intricate social dynamics.  Persona 3 veterans will get a kick out of playing through the story from a new female perspective, gaining new Social Links, special events, and unique romantic opportunities.
• Slick system enhancements--Improved playability permeates every aspect of the gameplay experience.  One-button menu shortcuts, streamlined team equipment changes, incredibly short load times, and other tweaks and enhancements create an ideal pace for portable gaming.
